Ruh Dental – Manchester ★9.9

A London cosmetic house with one clinic outside the capital

Ruh Dental works from Fleet Street, Notting Hill Gate and Knightsbridge, and Manchester is its only clinic beyond London. What came north is a particular model: a bench on which almost every dentist carries the same title, cosmetic restorative dentist, working to a minimally invasive doctrine, with ceramic work made by master ceramists and cases planned digitally before anything is touched.

Treatments and services

The cosmetic core is composite bonding, which reshapes and brightens with resin without drilling or injections and is finished in one visit, alongside porcelain veneers, whitening and full smile makeovers. Straightening is Invisalign in Lite, Moderate and Comprehensive tiers, and the group holds Diamond Apex provider status. Implants run from a single tooth to full-arch and same-day work, planned on a three-dimensional scan of the jaw. General care covers hygiene, root canal treatment, extractions, periodontics, bridges and dentures, and facial aesthetics adds anti-wrinkle treatment, lip fillers and Profhilo.

The clinicians

Clinical director Billal Arshad holds an MSc and MFDS RCSGlas, tutors in prosthodontics at Manchester Dental Hospital for undergraduates and postgraduates, and lectures internationally on minimally invasive restorative dentistry; his own casework is implants, veneers, full-mouth rehabilitation and tooth wear. Ravi Boojawon combines orthodontics with restorative work and root canal therapy. Liv Schorah, a BDS with honours, takes bonding, veneers and complex restorative cases. Sulaiman Arshad follows a conservative philosophy that avoids cutting sound tooth structure, and Amit Mistry completes the cosmetic bench, with two hygienists behind them.

How treatment is organised

Appointments are longer than a standard slot and held in private treatment rooms, with a treatment co-ordinator carrying the case between visits. Enquiries and booking run through WhatsApp and live chat as well as the telephone, and same-day appointments are held back for emergencies. Bonding is often preceded by a fortnight of at-home whitening so the finished shade comes out even.

Who it suits

People after a smile makeover who want the conservative version: resin and minimal-preparation ceramics rather than a mouth of crowns. Patients with worn-down teeth who need full-mouth rehabilitation. And anyone who would otherwise have gone to a London cosmetic practice.
